Changing Date to CreateDate in 8000+ docs Word95

[Trev Maxwell]

My company has mailmerge templates which merge to a new document and then
save to a customer folder/subfolder. They have just realised that some
templates had Date as opposed to CreateDate in a mailmerge field and
thousands of documents, when retrieved, now show todays date as the date of
correspondence.

I am not a programmer but I can create macros. Can anyone help me write a
macro that will open the files in a directory/sub directory, change the
mailmerge field, save and go to next file.
Is it possible?

Many thanks
Trev

yes, it's possible.

Steve Roman's book Writing Word Macros has the basics for the pieces you
need.
